[Korea Farmers' News Agency, reporter Song Hae-chang] "The first harvest is popular as premium Heb-ssal... The second harvest is practically a bonus. Local farmers have high expectations for Um-ssal." The South Chungcheong Provincial Government has successfully cultivated Um-ssal using the early-maturing rice variety 'Ppareumi', which it developed. Um-ssal cultivation involves growing new shoots from the stubble of rice that has already been harvested and then harvesting the rice like angel hair pasta. It means two harvests from one planting. The South Chungcheong Agricultural Research and Extension Services conducted the Um-ssal harvest in Songak-eup, Dangjin-si on the 3rd. The South Chungcheong Agricultural Research and Extension Services conducted a large-scale field verification of 'Um-ssal cultivation technology' in Songak-eup, Dangjin-si, covering 45,000㎡, and in Seobu-myeon, Hongseong-gun, covering 30,000㎡.
